Lyrics

(verse)
God knows we'll feel the cold,
Odds are real good we'll have snow,
For our Windy City Christmas.
Snowflakes blow off the lake,
Friendly smiles warm each face,
For our Windy City Christmas.

(chorus)
Another Windy City Christmas,
See that tower shine so bright,
Bringing holiday wishes,
All dressed up in Christmas lights.
Another Windy City Christmas,
All I ever wanna do is spend another,
Windy City Christmas,
Sugar, with you.

(verse)
Kids fill those shopping malls,
And they tell their dreams to Santa Claus,
Another Windy City Christmas,
Folks sit by candle light,
Love can melt the coldest ice,
For our Windy City Christmas.

(chorus)
Another Windy City Christmas,
See that tower shine so bright,
Bringing holiday wishes,
All dressed up in Christmas lights.
Another Windy City Christmas,
All I ever wanna do is spend another,
Windy City Christmas,
Sugar, with you.

(spoken outro)
Hey look outside, it snowin'!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I love you.

Chicagoans will love this regional Christmas carol. The hook really sticks with the listener. Excellent instrumentation with jazzy brass, smooth piano, and great underlying bass. Terrific intro and creative outro. Vivid word pictures and clever rhymes. Favorite: mall/Santa Claus; Christmas/wishes. Favorite lyric: Love can melt the coldest ice. Excellent mix and production. Crystal clear vocal. This song should enjoy great success.
